IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2002-09-25
Abstract: This invention discloses a server apparatus which can
prevent direct reference to information that should be
referred to only after a predetermined procedure, and a
control method for the apparatus. The server apparatus of
this invention analyzes address information contained in
an information reference request and checks whether the
address information contains system time added by the
information server. If the system time is contained, it
is compared with the current system time. Only when the
difference between them has a predetermined value or less,
the address information is determined as valid.

Abstract: A disc player that incorporates a single piece disc
enclosure and a chassis section is described. The
incorporation of the disc enclosure and the chassis
section into a single piece eliminates the requirement
for a separate damping system. As well as reducing the
cost of manufacturing the device this also allows for the
tolerance between the spindle motor and the disc
enclosure to be precisely controlled so enabling
miniaturisation of the disc player.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing xylose from lignocellulosic feedstock. The method comprises disrupting lignocellulosic feedstock; leaching the lignocellulosic feedstock by contacting the feedstock with at least one aqueous solution for a period greater than about 2 minutes to produce a leached feedstock and a leachate; removing the leachate from the leached feedstock; acidifying the leached feedstock to a pH between about 0.5 and about 3 to produce an acidified feedstock; and, reacting the acidified feedstock under conditions which disrupt fiber structure and hydrolyze a portion of hemicelluloses and cellulose of the acidified feedstock, to produce a composition comprising xylose and a pretreated feedstock. The xylose may be purified from the pretreated feedstock or it may be converted to ethanol with the pretreated feedstock.

Abstract: System and Method for providing access to multiple wireless service providers (WSPs) on a shared network infrastructure. The system includes a plurality of access points (Aps) coupled to a network which may be distributed in airports, mass-transit stations, businesses, etc. The network may couple to a wide area network, such as the Internet. Each AP may include a plurality of virtual Aps (VAPs), each corresponding to a WSP. A portable computing device (PCD) of a user stores identification information indicating a WSP of a plurality of possible WSPs, and which may include an access level of the user. Each AP “listens for” or detects identification information associated with numerous WSPs. When the AP receives the identification information from the PCD, it determines the VAP/WSP for the PCD using the identification information. Network access is then provided to the PCD through the determined WSP at the determined access level.

Abstract: A filter settings generation operation includes sampling colored noise present at the input of a receiver to produce a sampled signal. The sampled signal is spectrally characterized across a frequency band of interest to produce a spectral characterization of the sampled signal. This spectral characterization does not include a signal of interest. The spectral characterization is then modified to produce a modified spectral characterization. Filter settings are then generated based upon the modified spectral characterization. Finally, the input present at the receiver is filtered using the filter settings when the signal of interest is present to whiten colored noise that is present with the signal of interest. In modifying the spectral characterization, pluralities of spectral components of the spectral characterization are independently modified to produce the modified spectral characterization. Modifications to the spectral characterization may be performed in the frequency domain and/or the time domain. Particular modifications include amplifying spectral components, weighting spectral components based upon prior spectral components, and averaging spectral components with prior spectral components.

Abstract: On the basis of positional information regarding an armature (22), it is
determined (S118) whether the armature (22) is operating in a first state in which the
movable element (22) is engaged with the valve body (8) or in a second state in which
the armature (22) is disengaged with the valve body (8). Then, model parameters are
correspondingly changed (S 120, S 128). Therefore, it is possible to always set
suitable model parameters corresponding to changes in the actual spring-mass
vibration system. Hence, the precision in the control of the electromagnetically
driven valve (2) using a model can be improved.
